Title: A20 can't boot/start anymore
Post by: gporte on October 05, 2025, 03:47:07 PM
Hi,

some weeks ago my A20-OLinuXino-LIME2-s16M crashed with red light on.

I tried to reboot, unplug/replug charger, reinstall image (base, then minimal) but it is still the same : red light is flashing a while, then stay on. Nothing on screen (pluged with HDMI).

SDcard seems to be ok (I can access it on my laptop).

Have you any idea how I could test if the A20 is dead ?

I have saved the logs on the previous installed that crashed but I have no idea where to search

Thanks !

Guillaume

Is PWR_LED "the red light" should not blink, it is power good indicator. When you apply power it should turn on and stay on. If it blinks it is either lose connection, or bad power supply adapter, or there is some hardware damage with the board. Did you provide 5V DC to the power jack? Maybe try with another power adapter to exclude problems with the physical connection or bad power supply.
